Can 1P5.1 Wi-Fi sync to multiple vaults? [An update to the Mac app is coming to enable this support]
I recently upgraded to Yosemite/1P5.0.1 on my iMac and IOS 8/1P5.1 Pro on my iPad. I have Primary and Archive vaults on my iMac. https://guides.agilebits.com/1password-ios/5/en/topic/sync-over-wifi says the iPad should Wi-Fi sync to both but I can't get it to "see" anything but the Primary vault.
I found the forum article that described a problem unlocking Pro features after upgrading via iTunes. I was pretty sure I upgraded from the iPad but I deleted 1P, downloaded it again from the iPad and re-sync'd. 1P still only sees the Primary vault.
1P's Settings -> Pro has a "Thank you for buying 1Password's Pro ... ", "Purchased" display at the top and the "Categories" list includes "Software Licenses". Those indicate the Pro features really are unlocked, don't they?

Hi @SvanDee,
We're working on an update to 1Password 5 for Mac to support the multiple vault sync over Wi-Fi. It was ready to go for the initial 5.0 release but we saw some last minute bugs and we've decided to pull it to fix it first.
The iOS app is ready to go for this, it just needs to wait for an update for the Mac version to enable it. I don't have a timeframe on this but it will be relatively soon as we have a lot of improvements coming soon for the Wi-Fi sync.
You do have Pro unlocked, so you're all good to go here.

I have installed 1pw5 on a second mac running yosemite. I have successfully synced my first mac and iPhone 5s using wi-fi. Can I not sync the second mac using wi-fi also? I am not being given that choice. Just offered iCloud, dropbox, this mac, another device or restore from backup?

You can do it but you just need to be rather careful about it. In effect you'll be using the iPhone as a bridge between the two Macs (which is the way to do this currently, if you want to use wifi sync). That will involve sync with the first Mac (the one you have already set up for wifi sync with the phone) and then re-setting wifi sync on the phone (disable it then re-enable it) to find the second Mac (which obviously first also has to be set up for wifi sync ). After that you'll need to be very careful on the phone to select the correct Mac for the sync each time you want to sync.
So, in essence:
- Sync with the first Mac.
- Set up the second Mac for wifi sync.
- Disable and re-enable wifi sync on the phone, find the second Mac and input the wifi secret.
- Sync the phone with the second Mac.
Generally, be careful! It's a good idea to make a 1P backup on the first Mac before starting any of this (1P5 > Preferences > Backup > Backup Now) so you can go back if anything goes wrong.

Hi @jmbonomo
I hope Stephen_C's post helped. If you have multiple Macs we'd probably recommend Dropbox or iCloud as an easy way to keep them all in sync. If you are unhappy with cloud services being involved you might want to look at using Folder Sync in conjunction with either rsync or ChronSync (or other sync tool of your choice). That way it remains automated and doesn't require you constantly jumping between Wi-Fi Sync with different Macs.
